I joined the circus once... and when I don't work for them I build things, work on my house and rarely sit still.
I hike, camp, climb, snowboard and bike. Usually not all at once. I've rarely said no to an adventure and my philosophy in life is to try to balance "adulting" and laughing hysterically at my own bad jokes while ignoring "can't" and "shouldn't" phrases.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hiked through the Sierras in california and it was an amazing experience staying with other people. I love to make new friends and have a great time!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to everything. Anything with a toe tapping beat will usually have me moving or humming immediately.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1 month hiking solo on the Pacific Crest Trail. I have stories. :-D

Teach, Learn, Share

I've had 20+ completely different jobs, including being an engineering teacher until recently. I can teach you to fix almost anything, or how to prepare for a loooong hike. I love to learn and I can talk your ear off or listen for hours. Anywhere with a fireplace or bonfire I feel at home.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a decent cook, a great listener and I love pets. I can also bartend and lift heavy objects.

Countries I’ve Visited

Croatia, Greece, Italy, Spain, Tunisia, Turkey
